What is you opinion on a 26 year old female that lives in Chicago, Il and makes $14 per hour?

Question

I'm just curious if people think I make a good or bad salary. I have a GED (high scholl dropout) with no college education. So, $14 per hour. Should I be making more? I feel overworked, and underpaid(who doesn't). I've been at this job for 6 years. Oh, I'm full time if that matters. Thanks, all!

Answer 1

This really depends on what you are doing.  However, for your level of education that is not that bad.

Answer 2

That kind of salary is pretty good, anywhere you live.  Just curious, you don't state what kind of work you perform.  Many times, the type of work you perform dictates whether $14.00 per hour is good or bad -- especially after being with a job for 6 years.  But, all in all, that's a pretty good salary.
